Christmas present buying

[jonny jeez]

Dont tell her, but I dont really like it when Mrs Jeez buys me a present from my kids.

I don't want their Mum to do the thinking and the buying, I would secretly rather they either made me something or were given a few quid and told to go an buy something that they think Daddy would like. Can you imagine what I'd end up with, it would be great seeing how their minds work and I'd have some really precious gifts too boot.

Oh well, I hint at this every year but I still get socks (or something) from my kids each year. I honestly suspect its more about what Mrs Jeez wants me to get "her" from the kids...I dont think she'd like a tea spoon made from macaroni or a plastic motorbike from the toy-shop (both likely suspects)

Boo hoo ... I just bought a stocking pressy for my youngest... and left my pannier bag open when I got home... he's seen it (and he still believes in Father Christmas though this is probably the last year I suspect).

I have just been buying presents for my God daughter and her two sisters and brother.

I have asked their mum what they would like and she just says 'Anything, just whatever you can afford.' so I have been throwing suggestions at her to check suitability.
I get in return 'Nah, they have one of those.', Nah, Only one of them would get to play with that.', Nah, they choose their own clothing.' and so on.

So, today I got a 'Bop It' and some make up. The make up will keep the girls happy and the Bop It will annoy the heck out of their Mum!
